Mozambique: Thousands Rush to Malawi as Post-Poll Violence Intensifies | Firstpost Africa

Thousands have fled Mozambique in the past week to neighbouring Malawi seeking refuge from the southern African nation’s deadly post-poll protests and violence. Some 13,000 people have reportedly crossed from Mozambique to Malawi since December 23. Meanwhile, Eswatini has had an influx of more than 350 Mozambicans since last week. Moreover, the violence in Mozambique has also forced South Africa to reroute trade as the border situation grows volatile. This comes as fresh protests and violence have gripped Mozambique after the country’s top court upheld the October election results, disputed by the opposition. The protests have led several cities and economic activities across the country to come to a standstill. International observers have also demanded an end to the unrest. Is this the beginning of a larger crisis in the southern Africa region? Watch the video to learn more.
